In all these intercollegiate games the play
ing will be according to the old rules. A
Portland man, McKusic, will be the umpire.
The base ball men at Bowdoin have had
great deal of trouble and disagreement dur
ing the. last year, but now everything is
moving along smoothly with good prospects
of success for the nine. Last fall, after the
defeat of the summer before, there was a
very serious dissension as to the manage
ment and composition of the nine. Society
feeling crept in, and the influential fraterni-
ties, the Psi iUpsilon, Zeta Psi and Delta
Kappa Epsilon, had serious falling out,
| which was settled at last on the Delta when
picked nine of Psi U's and Zetes met
picked nine of the d. X. Els This game set
tied the claims for influence and position in
the management H. b. Austin. S7 of
Pennington, a lzete, became manager, and
M. III. Boutelle. '87, of Bangor, a Psi u,
captain of the nine. Since then everything
has moved oD smoothly, SO far as manage
ment is concerned. But the season has been
very backward. The snow still covers the
Delta, and the nine will not be able to get
any out-of-door practice until they return
from their Massachusetts, trip. But careful
training in the new gymnasium has in a
measure made up fol, this disadvantage.
They have been coached all winter by Harry
Soule, the Yarmouth player. over whom
there was so much trouble last year. Soule
will accompany them on ithe Massachusetts
tour.
On this tour the nine will start Thursday,
April 21st. 1t will be made up about as fol-
lows:
NJ. II. Boutelle, '87 captain and catcher. This
Is his first year on the college nine.
II. M. Moulton, 'S7, pitcher He has played for
four years, and caught last year.
T. Russell, $50, first base. A new man.
F. w. Freeman, 'S9, second base and change
catcher ga, He has o played s bah two seasons
George Cary, 'S8. Third base and change
pitcher. Has played three seasons.
George Larrabee, 'sS, right field. He has
F. L. Talbot, 'S7, left field He has played three
seasons.
f. ID. Dearth, 1877, centre field He has PLAYED
four seasons
]. B. Pendleton, 80, is a spare man.
Frank Pushor, who has played for the past
three years at first base, will not play this
year. There are three new men among these
and of course it is difficult to predict how
they will do. Boutelle is expected to do
well behind the bat, and fill Moulton's place
in good shape, while Moulton, in his new
place as pitcher, has swiftness and good con-
troll of the ball. He has never pitched in
college games, but showed that he could
pitch in the Rockland game last summer
The nine are, as rule, heavy batters. They
are, moreover, satisfied with the management
and ready to work, much more so than in
former years. Four hundred dollars have
already been raised toward defraying the ex-
penses of the season.
The games for the trip have been arranged
with these clubs:
PoItlands (at Portland) ...... Thursday, April 21
Manchesters.- ..... Friday, April %
Tufts. fts....-................... Monday, April %
Harvards. ................. Tuesday, April 26
Amherst or Boston College. Thursday, April 2S
Tufts (at Brunswick) Saturday, April 80
These are Bowdoin's preparations for base
ball. That they do not, necessarily interfere
with the studies is shown by the fact that
one-third of the ball players are honor men.
Williamson, Cary and Larrabee have taken
high rank, and others of the players are
prominent for their abilities in literary exer-
cises of the college.
THE MEDICS BRACE UP.
The medical students have caught the
general spirit, and organized a nine with
Thomas J. Murphy as manager, and w. w.
Willcomb, captain. AS there are several old
players and college graduates who have
played formerly on college mines, in the
school, it is expected that good nine will
be selected.
BowDoIN's FAMOUS CREW.
The outlook for boating was never better.
although the backward season has inter-
fered with this as with base ball. The ice is
still in the river, and Saturday the boating
men made their first trip down to the river
and cut the floats out of the ice. The men
have been training heroically, and expect to
keep Bowdoin the winner as she has been in
the contests of the past two years. This.
will be the Varsity crew:
Training
Name. Position Weight,
L. B. Varney 'S7, manager Stroke 165
Frank Lyman, '89, captain. Bow 1853
II. G. Jackson, '89. ..........No. 1877
X. M. Gates, 80 .....,........No 3 16S
Three of this crew were in the old crew of
last year. Gates, of the Freshman class, is
new man. He has been in training all
winter, and shows up so well that he Is ex-
pected to be strong man when it comes to
the real work. As whole the crew is
stronger than last years.
Fred Plaisted will come here TO Bowdoin
about the 1st of June to train the crew for
the race at Worcester July 9Th, Columbia,
Cornell, University of Pennsylvania. Brown
and Bowdoin will row. The Bowdoins will
use the same shell as last Year. Ii is snlen-
